The Cool Hunter, Roaming the globe so you're in the know

It has been nearly thirty years since the era of moped decadence, and
yet at the roots, there is a renewed interest. Though you might not
know it yet, a moped-inspired sub-culture is taking form all across the
country. Chicago's most revered branch of moped riders, cleverly named Peddy Cash,
has helped spear head the trend since its inception. The members of
Peddy Cash, for the most part, occupy the Chicago neighborhoods of
Ukraine Village, Wicker Park, and Logan Square. The fifteen immediate
members of Peddy Cash are considered to be part of the elite riders in
the city, however they only make up a handful of the 30-40 serious
moped riders springing up across Chicagoland. Peddy Cash is one of
sixteen official branches recognized by a national organization called
the Moped Army.
The Moped Army, which was founded in 1997 in Kalamazoo, MI, is a
resource for moped enthusiasts and has 10,000 registered users on its
website. 291 of those members are directly connected to registered
branches that range from major metropolises like the moped gang Mission
23 in New York City, to smaller areas of America like the branch Motion
Left from Elkhart, Indiana. Mopeds, not scooters! There is a very
serious deference. A similar trend has also been spotted down-under. by Drew Hudson
